I keep getting messages like this in my syslog:

Sep  2 16:27:47 inner syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner last message repeated 3 times
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner /kernel: file: table is full 
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner last message repeated 3 times
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner /kernel: file: table is full 
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner last message repeated 326 times
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner /kernel: table is full
Sep  2 16:27:47 inner /kernel: file: table is full 

also, every once and awhile i try to run a basic command like 'w' and i get
this error:

inner /var/log>w
w: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system

when i run the command after that and it works just fine.  Can someone
explain to me what is going on and how i can fix the problem?  i'm
currently running 2.2.1 

thanks in advance
